Welcome to the third annual Library Love Challenge hosted by Angel’s Guilty Pleasures.
** For those that have joined the Library Love Challenge in the past would you please take a few moments to fill out this Questioner. I would love your opinion. **
I hope you will join me in celebrating and support libraries.
If you are like me then you like to purchase every book you want to read. And, we’ll that can put a hurt on your wallet. One way to help lessen the hurt is to check out books (prints, ebooks, or audios) from the library. If you do this then it will help save you LOTS of money $$.
Getting a library card in most places is FREE. So, if you love to read and/or listen to books then grab your library card and join the challenge.

Good afternoon. I’ve joined this challenge and I can’t wait to start logging more books from the library. Quick question though… I looked at the Goodreads group and it is for 2018. So when I try to log my book, it states that the challenge is over. Is there a Goodreads group for the 2019 challenge?
I’m so happy to have you join. Yes, their is a 2019 challenge in the Goodreads Group: https://www.goodreads.com/challenges/list?group_id=206149
Hi Angela,
I came across this Challenge at Jan’s Notes from a Readaholic blog and knew it would be a good idea to sign up – I only read SIX library books last year! And we have a brilliant library that’s struggling to stay open with a Government only too happy to close it – not good enough! So I’m aiming to at least double that number and hopefully do better than that. Thank you so much for hosting this one:))
You are welcome! So sad to hear your library is struggling. Visiting will help. Keep up the library love!
Last year with a few other challenges I started low and up’d when I could. I hope you have fun and thank you for joining. Love your library!
